Super Prestige System

Chapter 48; Vigorously develop Qiongzhou

A few days later, Zhou Ding and his party arrived at Qiongzhou Wharf with three warships.

Qiongzhou’s Zhizhou, Tongpan, Tutongpan, Chief Secretary’s experience, Liwen, Yunjuan, Zhoutong, Tuzhoutong, county magistrates, Menqianzong, Yingqianzong, Xuanfu envoy Siqianshi, appeasement envoy Sitong Dozens of officials, large and small, have been waiting at the pier for the knowledge and deputy recruitment envoys!
Zhou Ding forced Tsarist Russia to bow its head, the benefits are obvious!
Not only was the Qing Dynasty's attitude towards him more friendly, but even other powerful countries in the world expressed their goodwill to Zhou Ding through their respective agents.

All the officials in Qiongzhou knew that the new magistrate had a great background, so big that even foreigners would bow their heads, and the emperor and queen mother would show face.

After Zhou Ding disembarked, these people spared no effort to be afraid of flattery; some called Zhou Ding high-spirited, some praised Zhou Ding's extraordinary bearing, some praised the mighty and domineering warship, or said that Hou Yi's army was neat and orderly...

From the beginning of the reception banquet to the end of the reception banquet, these people's praises never stopped, and there was no repetition. Zhou Ding slandered: Everyone is a 'talent'!

Satisfied with wine and food, Zhou Ding expressed his attitude and gave Qiongzhou local officials a reassurance.

"The prefect Zhou is no different from the prefects in the past. You can rest assured! My Zhou family will set up a few companies in Qiongzhou in the next step. While making money, we will also benefit the people of Qiongzhou. You all need to support us!"

All the officials expressed their opinions one after another: "It should be, it should be!"

"Master Zhou's business is our business!"

Zhou Ding waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and said solemnly: "Let's be a villain first and then a gentleman. Zhou wants to benefit the people of Qiongzhou, and he won't let you help in vain. However, whoever wants to set me up in the dark, don't Blame me for not showing affection!"

"My lord, don't worry, if there is such a person, I will be the first to spare him!"

"We will only protect the interests of adults, and never dare to harm the interests of adults!"

"Being right with Mr. Zhou is doing right with me!"

After beating, Zhou Ding wanted to reassure everyone, beckoning Zhou Ding to bring Fang Youde to his side, and said to Zhizhou and Tong who were sitting on both sides of him:
"My Zhou has a lot of things to do, and I'm afraid I have more than enough energy to deal with government affairs! When I'm not in Qiongzhou, my master Fang Youde will handle government affairs on my behalf. Master Liu and Master Hu, you two should Please bear with me!"

Liu Zhizhou and Hu Tongpan glanced at each other quietly, got up to salute Fang Youde, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although everyone was chatting wittily at the wine table, warmly welcoming Zhou Ding's arrival, but they kept beating in their hearts: Everyone really didn't want to share a boss like Zhou Ding.

Liu Zhizhou and Hu Tongpan are also fifth-rank officials. It is reasonable to say that their status is equal to that of the prefect, and that they have their own division of labor in government affairs, and major affairs are done through consultation.

What now?
Zhou Ding came here wearing a hat with an overview of Qiongzhou's military and political affairs, and he grew up drinking Western ink. His thoughts and thoughts are quite different from theirs. How should we get along with him?

If it was an ordinary boss, the two of them could easily evade him, but facing Zhou Ding, they didn't dare to make such a move.

The Zhou Ding family is too powerful, not only came to take office with a huge warship, but also brought more than 500 well-armed soldiers.

Good guy!
If you are in a bad mood that day and see who doesn't like it, just kill him, where should everyone go to reason?

Who do you expect to give you the head start?
This master is a figure who bows his head even to Tsarist Russia, a hero of the people of the whole country, who would dare to stand up for you in the Qing Dynasty.

Zhou Ding asked the master to handle government affairs, but they were greatly relieved. After all, Master Fang was a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, so communication was more convenient, and they wished not to see Zhou Ding in the future.

Time flies like an arrow, and three months have passed in a blink of an eye. This summer, Zhou Ding has done three things in Qiongzhou.

The first thing is to recruit people on a large scale. No matter what you want to do, population is the top priority.

Zhou Ding distributed dozens of older members of the Anti-Japanese Mutual Aid Association to various ports in the Qing Dynasty, wantonly recruiting poor people.

Now, all the people in the south, Shandong, Hebei, and even the northeast know that there is a place called Qiongzhou in the southernmost part of the Qing Dynasty. The prefect of this place is Zhou Ding, a famous rich man in the world. As long as you go to Qiongzhou, you will never be hungry .

The first thing is done, and the second thing is to expand the army. Two months later, the expansion of the Houyi Army was completed, and the total number reached [-]. , also reached reverence with Zhou Ding.

The rest of the people were divided into two by Zhou Ding. Women, teenagers, and older people planted rubber trees in large areas on all the wasteland in Qiongzhou.

Qiongzhou is the later Hainan Island, which is very suitable for the growth of rubber trees.

Zhou Ding brought back a large amount of cement from the real world. Those young men who failed to join the army were incorporated into the engineering team by Zhou Ding. Starting from the pier, the whole Qiongzhou built roads.

The car auction went well. Zhou Ding divided the cars into grades. A car purchased for 10 yuan started with 10 taels of silver, a car bought for 20 yuan started with 20 taels of silver, and so on.

The best car is about 40 yuan, and it is useless to get it too high-end.

Of course, Zhou Ding didn't forget to promise Andus to 'become the king of watches in the world'. After coming to Qiongzhou, he gave Andus the synthesis technology of stainless steel, and also gave him some technical information of watches.

Andus poached corners all over the world, and hired many watch craftsmen at high prices.

After the establishment of the factory, Andus insisted that Zhou Ding take [-]% of the shares, but Zhou Ding refused. As long as he agreed, he gave Andus a finishing machine tool.

Andus's small abacus is well-balanced, and with Zhou Ding joining, he can justifiably ask him for help when encountering difficulties in the future.

Even if there are no difficulties, you can earn money now!Zhou Ding gave this finishing machine tool, which is a good thing that can't be exchanged for anything.

Zhou Ding doesn't like the mere [-]% of the shares now, but he doesn't know how important the [-]% of the shares played when Zhou Ding left this small world to fight in other worlds.

In September, Zhou Ding left Qiongzhou with a thousand soldiers on a warship and went straight to Tianjin.

Although Zhou Ding had a hand in the Reform Reform, it did not change much. In September, the Reform Reform also came to an end.

Zhou Ding drove a warship and docked at Tianjin Port with a team of foreign guns with great fanfare. The officials in Tianjin were very frightened.

Ever since, an envoy was sent to ask Zhou Ding what he wanted to do?

Zhou Ding said: Please turn to the Empress Dowager. I heard that Tan Sitong, Kang Guangren, Lin Xu, Yang Shenxiu, Yang Rui, and Liu Guang are going to be dispatched. Qiongzhou is located in the extreme south. Please send these people to Qiongzhou. Zhou Ding will strictly guard them.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi got the news, she broke her most beloved Yu Ruyi in a rage.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhou Ding is trying to save the lives of Tan Sitong and others.

After being furious, the Empress Dowager Cixi calmed down!

Although Zhou Ding claimed to have joined the Qing Dynasty and became an official of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi knew that all of this was for the sake of looking good, and Zhou Ding could not become her courtier.

After thinking about it again and again, the Empress Dowager Cixi still compromised. Now that there are internal and external troubles, it is not the time to tear up the face with Zhou Ding.

Fortunately, no order has been issued to execute these people, so it won't be too ugly.
